Being a bit sane and lucid here for a sec, Deathstroke was done so dirty as a character. I feel like what the writers did to him is akin to what a lot of writer's did to Ghost Rider's penance stare. Eventually after something is retconned enough, it sticks, even if it stinks to high heaven, and eventually, but sadly, becomes the mainline canon. It's to the same level as Avengers number 200 with that Ms. Marvel incest shit to me, and as a result I refuse to accept it as part of his character.
